I recently changed all round pads and disc on a bmw and i had to adjust the parking brake as well. Now as the car is coming to a stop the are very squeaky, also after a long journey you can smell some burning......could this be down to the wrong adjustment down at the brake shoes i.e to tight ? Any help would n=be much appreciated.

Pull the parking brake handle up half way. Then adjust the rear adjuster on the parking brake shoes. Then you want to adjust the cable at the parking brake handle so the brakes hold at 3 clicks up. If the rear wheels have drag, loosen the adjuster a few clicks until wheels spin free.
